Helpful Notes
Now that you have finished formatting your first
five or six slides, you can repeat the process
for all additional slides. Note 1 After
creating new question slides, just copy and past
your old Youre Right and Sorry, wrong answer
slides. Once you have copied additional
slidesjust redo the hyperlink for the action
buttons. Note 2 Whenever you are running the
interactive quiz program through the presentation
mode of PowerPoint, you must use the action
buttons to move forwards and backwards however,
if you wish to get out of the presentation
program just hit the ESC button on your
keyboard.

Helpful Notes
Note 3 If you would like more flexibility
moving around your interactive quiz, just add a
table of contents. If you add a table of
contents to your program, you will need to
hyperlink your section links and your new action
buttons. (Follow previous instructions to format
new page links). In addition, additional
flexibility can be provided by adding buttons to
any screen so that you can move to any slide
such as a title home page, table of contents, and
work cited page.
